AirPods Pro 2 just became the best value hearing aids on the market | Infinium-tech
At its grand launch event on Monday, Apple announced a new hearing aid mode coming as a software update to the AirPods Pro 2. The feature has now been authorized by the FDA, paving the way for its rollout.
That would make the AirPods Pro 2 one of the best cheap hearing aids on the market, dedicated or not — and they’re also great earbuds for playing music and listening to other media.
Apple’s hearing aid function will use either an on-the-spot hearing test using your AirPods Pro 2 and your iPhone, or an audiogram from a hearing health professional.
Adjustments made based on a hearing test or audiogram are automatically applied to everything you listen to in your AirPods Pro 2 — transparency mode, yes, but also music, movies, podcasts, whatever.
The hearing aid feature is promised to be available in more than 100 countries and regions in the future. It will only work with iPhones running on iOS 18. Speaking of which, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system will become available on September 16.
